Lewis & Clark in Illinois

xxx

We are delighted to present this interview with Dr. Blaire Topash-Caldwell who gives a Native American perspective on the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Lewis and Clark began their expedition after a lengthy stay in Illinois. The participants built a camp along the Wood River, just a few miles south of today’s Alton.
